A Free Garland Idea…and DIY Free Swags

Who wants some free swag?! (see what I did there?) 😉 Now, I know Christmas is just a few days away now, but I am not your typical blogger and seem to do these projects in ‘real time’ – aka I’m decorating with the rest of you, not months early like I should if I […]

Simple Ways to Create a Christmas Kitchen

Thank you all for your kind comments about our Christmas Family Room and Dining Room! You’re just the best. The last stop on this holiday tour is our kitchen. The kitchen has gone through a couple changes over the year – first, the island, which got a HUGE facelift and went from something I didn’t […]

The Dining Room at Christmastime: 2015

As you may know, our dining room has probably gone through more makeovers than any room in this house! It used to be dark, then light, then colorful, now…it has a more rustic, natural vibe. (You can see all the different looks in this post). So this year, I traded in the bright aquas and […]

Christmas Family Room: 2015

A New Black Door and a White Cozy Wreath

Oh. Em. Geeeeee YOU GUYS! This one is gonna knock your socks off. How a $3 sample of paint can make THIS much of a difference…blows my mind every time! Let’s get right down to it, shall we? I’ve been living with a boring white door in our kitchen (it’s the side door entrance) for, […]

So I have this boxwood wreath obsession. But they’re so stinkin’ expensive! And you know me, if there’s a way to do it on the cheap, I WILL FIND IT. 😉 I got to thinking…if only there was a way to make these…and then the thought occurred to me: ummmmm, LIZ YOU HAVE BOXWOOD BUSHES OUTSIDE YOUR […]

Joy! My First Christmas Craft of the Season

Yes, I did it. The Christmas crafts are officially upon us, and I tackled my first one over the weekend. It was funny – I had just walked in the house from a Friendsgiving feast with our best friends and I kid you not – the DIY Leaf Garland that has yet to fall ONCE […]

DIY Fall Paper Leaf Garland

I don’t know if it’s the DIY Book Page Wreath I made a few weeks ago or what, but I can’t seem to stop trying to find ways to decorate with paper these days! It’s so fun, and one of – if not THE – cheapest way to decorate! I mean, what’s not to love? […]

A Simple Touch of Fall in the Dining Room

As you know from my last post, I’ve started Fall-ifying the house. I get SO sad every year when Summer ends, then the second I open up these bins, my love for Fall comes back to me. I start adding all the orangey touches and pumpkins around the house, and I remember how much I adore […]
